Belle chambre, et bonne literie, personnel sympathique. Mini bar bien achalandé. Juste la salle du petit déjeuner qui n’est pas très conviviale, déco un peu triste

Séjour à Empoli
Hotel très bien situé . Notre chambre étais un peu petite et le sol n'était pas propre à coté du lit il y avais du sable. Par contre la chambre de nos amis était très bien grande et propre. Personnels très sympathique et très bon accueil.

Gran atención del recepcionista del turno matutino.
Buena estancia y cómodas instalaciones.
Tomar en cuenta que no está cerca de las atracciones principales en Florencia hay que tomar tren.

Good location between Firenze & Pisa
What we liked most was the excellent location. After long days on our feet the train dropped us almost at the front door. Rooms are small, but very clean and comfortable. We had a wonderful time of rest there. I would recommended it to anyone who wants to see Florence and Pisa and only want to stay in one place.

Perfect Location
Lovely family run hotel ideally located opposite rail station in Empoli. Ideal for visiting Florence, Pisa, Lucca and Sienna by train. Great value compared to city hotels.
Empoli a lovely historic town a short walk from hotel. Breakfast inclusive with a buffet of cold meats, breads, pastries and lovely coffee.

The only thing I didn’t like, which is normal for Italy is reusing the towels. When we left a dirty towel in the floor- it was placed back in the cabinet. Another thing, the bed is very uncomfortable.

Solo traveller
As a solo traveller wanting to explore Tuscany, this hotel is perfectly placed for train and bus. Charming brother and sister giving help and advice if needed. My single room a bit small for a week, but all clean and nice bathroom. Thoroughly enjoyed my week there.

We found the management of the hotel to be wonderful, friendly and very helpful on giving us guidance of where to eat and shop.
They even went to the trouble to ring some of the business to assist us.
The hotel is so close to the station and is about 25 min to Florence. The rooms are very comfortable warm and breakfast is a treat. Can’t recommend it highly enough, we loved 4 days here.
